"Hooray! Here's a lark!" screamed a small street-boy. "Go it! Plice! A skrimmage!" yelled another street-boy in an ecstasy of delight, which immediately drew to the spot the nucleus of a crowd. Mr Hazlit was a man of promptitude. He was also a large man, as we have elsewhere said, and by no means devoid of courage.
You may well call them Mingos, savages too, for savage enough do they feel, and savage enough will they act, if you once give them an opportunity. They feel their loss here, in the late skrimmage, to their hearts' cores, and are ready to revenge it on any creatur' of English blood that may fall in their way.
But Skrimmage, who had never been accustomed to deliver up any paper without a fee when he was in his former profession, did not feel inclined to do so in his present. Make a direct charge he dare not he, therefore, hit upon a ruse de guerre which effected his purpose.
I'm sent final with a dispatch from the left to the extreme right of our lines. "'When we goes into this skrimmage we jumps the Lincoln people somewhat onexpected.
But nothing about that thing that happened to him off Cape Horn, long ago, when he lay like dead for three days and nights; nothing about that deadly skrimmage with the Spaniard afore the altar in Santa? heard nothing about that, eh? Nothing about the silver calabash he spat into? And nothing about his losing his leg last voyage, according to the prophecy.
Now, there was the fine young captain of the 60th that threw away his life in trying to bring off a three-pounder from among the Frenchers in the last skrimmage we had; he thought he was sarving honor; and I have known a young ensign wrap himself up in his colors, and go to sleep in his blood, fancying that he was lying on something softer even than buffalo-skins."
Skrimmage who had been battered almost to stupefaction, roused by the call of his frightened wife, darted to her, and throwing his arm round her waist, "Spare her, gentlemen, spare her for mercy's sake, spare her, or," continued he, in a faltering voice, "if you will cobb her, let it be over all."
We are but a sort of a `thoroughfare, and every man must take care of himself." Seymour thanked the first-lieutenant for his caution, and descended with the clerk, who requested him to step into his private cabin, previous to being ushered into the gun-room, where the midshipmen's mess was held and of which Mr Skrimmage filled the important post of caterer.
We found him a hard subject in clear weather; what can we do with him in thick?" "That depends on the old man; his very natur' is overlaid by what has happened already, and I rather think he will be for a fresh skrimmage" Marble was an uneducated Kennebunk man, and by no means particular about his English.
An' let me whisper this, sirra, I'll be dam useful in fairs and markets to help the Orangemen to lick ourselves, your honor, in a skrimmage or party fight, or anything o' that kidney." "I am sorry, Nick Fistula, as you say your name is " "Mickey, sirra." "Well, Nickey, or Nick, or whatever it may be, I am sorry to say that you won't do.
